Just launched on Kickstarter!

Just launched on Kickstarter! “Flong Time, No See,” my collection of essays and reported work on printing history and people’s labor. Not academic—it’s a lot of fun, as you learn about a wildcat typesetter strike, “bogus” copy, type lice,” and much more! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glennf/flong-time-no-see?ref=cbf9r2

Enjoy this happy man in a vest and collared shirt holding a flong brush, beating flong onto a metal form on a flong table. Flong, flong, flong, flong, flong, flong, lovely flong, beautiful flong, flong, flong.

@glennf I think you should get Golan Levin to write a foreword…

@glennf
but of course.
you're a cool frood who knows where his towel is,
who's gone down many of the same rabbit-holes as I,
so one more is hardly surprising.

@Drwave I have corresponded with him over his domain!

One of the most appealing parts of the campaign for those who want a bit of history is Peanuts flongs—I have four remaining full sets of four molds for 1970s Sunday Peanuts (underwriter tier), as well as dozens of individual flongs that aren't part of four-color sets (book add-ons).
